There will be three birthdays this year with great meaning. Our beautiful daughter, Joy turned 30 on Feb. 13, 2008, my sister, RoRo will turn 60 on March 31, 2008, and then Dad/Grandad will be 90 years yound on June 21,2008. This is a good year. Don't get me wrong, all the birthdays this year are special to me. I try to remember all of them. It just isn't very often that a family has a set time between that many birthdays. This being a Father/Grandfather, Daughter/Aunt and Grandaughter/Niece.
We got together this past weekend and celebrated Joy's birthday. Lunch Sant Fe, then cake at the nursing home with Grandad. Grandad was very happy to see us. Of course, he let us know that we were missing a few people. He always enjoys everyones visits, but also misses the ones that don't get to come. We were pleasantly surprised to have a cousin coming in to see Grandad when we arrived there. Debbie Harless, she is the daughter of Emma Sue Townsend Martin, grandaughter of Roy & Ruth Townsend. Daddy always calls her Emma Sue. LOL She does look a lot like her mom. It was good to have her there, too!
It was a very good day, long but rewarding.
I can't wait to have the parties for RoRo & Daddy/Grandad.
We are blessed!
